Harry? Is it bad?

Great work Tigers.

But Harry going off really bothers me. Looks like a bad knee.

That one would hurt.

Here's hoping!

The way he was walking off, I wouldnt be suprised if he missed the rest of the season.

When they were doing the victory lap he looked ok... Maybe all will be well.

It did look bad when he went off, but I would hope that if there was any doubt about his fitness he wouldn't have been out on the lap of the pitch applauding the fans at the end.

.......could be without Hazza. I'll admit it looked pretty grim. But we could also be without Julian after stamping on El Abd. (Who, just for the record, got what he desrved!) :o(

anyone know the state of scott bemands fitness as we now could have only 2 fit scrum halves in frank murphy and ben youngs

I thought Frank Murphy did well when he came on and has played well throughout the season. Harry is obviously first choice but Frank wouldn't let us down for sure.

Well, yeah. Murphy would probably be, what, adequate?

But Harry is a very special player. He lifts Tigers several notches the way he plays.

And he occupies teams' defensive nightmares. If you defend Tigers with Harry, you have to account for him in a way you don't have to account for other 9s. Take him away and Tigers become maybe 8-10% easier to defend.

Plus, Harry is a wonderful defensive player. Gloucester will be running out their own star #9, and I would much rather have Harry dealing with Peter Richards.

If Harry is not fit, we are noticeably easier to beat.

Harry did walk onto the pitch at the end but has gone for a scan on the knee - lets hope it proves clear

Pat said that we wont know until 48hrs later. I guess thats the same as varndell though not sure.

It looked pretty bad. If ellis has to go off it has to be.

Hazza was in the European Suite about 8.30pm tonight with his knee in a brace but was not on crutches, so who knows, I don't think he did!

I personally think that he is the worst player that could have got injured for us. He is so important and we will suffer without him. Can't believe it :-(

I agree. Lets hope though that Frank steps up as we could really need him in the next two weeks.

I have my fears though and if Hazza is out, that could be the end of our chances in the next two weeks!! :o( :o(
